lets see if anyone can beat my speedtest.net results...

[zanejohnson]

I bet my cache is faster than that. 0ms ping is unpossible.

its not a chop, just on a major fiber backbone that serves most of my area.. i would imagine it was <1ms and it didnt know how to show that...

 

[Zeze]

WTF

 

[Arkaign]

I got to one of the *nix network techs play around at The Planet's dallas station, which has at least one OC192, and it saturated the hell out of Gbit lan lol. I believe the highest I saw was around 120MB (not Mb) / sec.

Slow today

 

[Krazy4Real]

suck it b#tches!!!

Congrats. You have slightly above average internets. Those speeds really aren't special.

wireless is so bad

 

[Jeff7]

The page timed out before it finished loading.


I guess that's bad. :\

<10Mpbs, TimeWarnerCable. Wooo.


2nd attempt:
106ms ping
0.41Mbps down
0.89Mbps up

Time to upgrade to a nice ISDN line, I suppose.

But you said you wanted network upgrades?

so we're upgrading.

I hope you realize that ISDN is considerably much slower than what you posted.

What do I lose?

hmmm, second test was better.

Extremely subtle sarcastic humor, I has it.



...and is this throttling, or what?

I just tested again.
70ms, 3.16Mbps down, 0.92 up

Then I loaded The Daily Show's website. My network activity abruptly stopped almost immediately - in Task Manager, there was some stuff going on, downloading data here and there, maybe 10-50kB/sec, just getting webpages on the forums. But as soon as I submitted the request for thedailyshow.com, it went down to about 200 bytes a second.
TDS' site stopped loading, and a tab of ATOT that was loading also timed out, then slowly loaded on the second attempt.
It does this for Youtube as well, depending on the time of day.

Fast internet.

 

[Merad]

I win.

I just did this again.

Results: 54ms, 21.51Mbps down, 0.94Mbps up

Then I tried it again, except in the middle of the download test, I loaded thedailyshow.com. The download rate dropped to only about 1-2 pixels high in Task Manager's Networking tab, which had auto-scaled to the 0-50&#37; range during the test. Loading that site completely kills my connection.

Youtube produces similar results. I guess Speedtest.net experienced a timeout error when I tried to reload the site while buffering a Youtube video - it suddenly said that I didn't have Flash installed.

What the hell, TWC? No love for streaming video?

During the testing your TCP window was very large and likely had a ton of packets coming your way without needing an acknoweldgement. This leads to packet loss/drops on egress from the modem termination system (coming into your modem) when you loaded the page with a UDP stream which is bad for video. It also caused TCP to close it's window some and resend which further compounds the problem until the TCP socket would eventually be closed.

What you experienced is the definition of congestion. It's how networks work.

If you nincompoops would let me use QoS and traffic policing/shaping this wouldn't be a problem for you.

Think of it as a series of tubes/pipes. Your pipe was full and you poured more water into it, that water mixed with the water destined for the pipe and water (packets) dumped onto the floor (dropped).

This is the price you pay for not having access to DSL, Cable or FIOS.

Anyone else lol at 'Unwired Broadband'?

Only the upload. EA had SLOWER download.

 

[Jschmuck2]

Based on the OP, I figured this was going to be a thread on how fast he could do speed.

I'll just back out slowly.

 

[OCGuy]

It is about quality too!

Heh.. It's a gig uplink; actual speed at any given time depends on who's also in the office there using it.

=( I thought I was going to take it.. then I continued reading the thread.
